I swear in like a week I will start writing more funny, interesting posts that aren't all neurotic and pregnancy related, but for now, I am deeply engrossed in crazy lady land and can't seem to dig myself out.
I started spotting last night. I mean, it wasn't even close to a murder scene or anything resembling anything close to bad at all. But it was there. And it scared me.
Went for another beta and while in the waiting room I skimmed through this book on how to get through infertility with your sanity (AS IF!) Anyway, one of the suggestions in the book was to listen to classical music because of it's calming effects. It said that if you listen to music with cello in it that you are supposed to feel that in your lower abdomen and that it can bring calm to your body there.
Remember how I said I'm crazy? Well I went straight to work and turned on Internet radio to classical music with cello in it. I gotta say I didn't feel it in my lady parts or anything but it was quite relaxing.
And on to the good news The beta was over 14,000. I didn't get the whole number because I started crying.
Ultrasound on Monday.
Aww, hun. I don't mind the posts about this stuff, it is your blog you know ;) lol
ReplyDeleteScary about the spotting! Glad for the awesome beta though! That's great!
I would have tuned into the classical channel too- you are totally not alone there.
So glad you had such a great beta number!
ReplyDeleteoh sweetie, IF makes us all crazy!!!!!!
ReplyDeletebut wowza for that beta number....WHO HOO!!!!
Hi- I am a music therapist, and I know firsthand the soothing effects of music! I have never heard specific things about the cello, but I know that for me, it is extrememly relaxing to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI do however play the harp with the sole purpose of relaxation for some of my patients at a hospital here in WI. The vibrations/sound waves do travel through the air and can affect the body. Music directly affects our heart rate, blood pressure and emotional state, among others.
Listening to music is just one aspect of music therapy, but I will have to do a post about it in the future. Thanks for sharing!
Be as crazy as you like - you've earned it : )
